The elven cloak is a cloak that appears in NetHack. It is a faded pall when unidentified.
Generation
Elven Rangers always start with a +2 elven cloak in place of a cloak of displacement.
Effects
When worn, the elven cloak provides magic cancellation 1 and stealth; this will auto-identify it if you do not have any other source of stealth.
Strategy
Elven cloaks can be a useful source of stealth for the Sokoban zoo and other special rooms that the player might encounter. However, another source, e.g. a ring of stealth, may be preferred if you already have a viable cloak.
Elven cloaks, along with elven boots, are among the lightest and most common magical armor, and can be safely enchanted past +5 to +7 like all elven items; this makes them especially ideal for polypiling.
Variants
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, elven cloaks provide MC3.
Messages
- You move very quietly.
- You put on an elven cloak, and didn't already have stealth. (The cloak is auto-identified.)
- You sure are noisy.
- You removed your elven cloak, and didn't have any other source of stealth. (The cloak is auto-identified.)
Encyclopaedia entry
The Elves next unwrapped and gave to each of the Company the clothes they had brought. For each they had provided a hood and cloak, made according to his size, of the light but warm silken stuff that the Galadrim wove. It was hard to say of what colour they were: grey with the hue of twilight under the trees they seemed to be; and yet if they were moved, or set in another light, they were green as shadowed leaves, or brown as fallow fields by night, dusk-silver as water under the stars.
